Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

This is why I keep my 2006 toyota in tip top shape. I will drive that car as long as I possibly can.

I've got a 2007 Kia that I'm planning to drive until I can't fix it anymore

So far that's proving to be a pretty easy given the cost and availability of parts

Really considering taking out a loan just to fix an old car instead of buying new.

I'm taking my 2006 Avalon to 300k miles and beyond!

What's the difference between never connecting your phone to a brand new high tech car and having no tech in an older car?

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

New car is still connected and is monitoring your driving habits, whether you wear a seatbelt or not, possibly recording your conversations, and even keeping track of your weight with the sensors in the seats.

And monitoring your location, don't forget about that. You can tell a lot about a person just by seeing where they go every day.

In my region, where public transport doesn't exist much at all, if you don't drive, you might not eat or work (the lucky few work remotely, but not all).
